Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1600 Réis - Maria I and Pedro III (Bahia) 1780-1784 coin from Brazil is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of Queen Maria I and her husband Pedro III, who ruled Brazil from 1777 to 1816. During their reign, Brazil experienced significant economic growth and development, particularly in the mining and agriculture sectors. The coin's gold content and its relatively small weight of 3.58 grams also make it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
